“Shadows of P’Jem” 20th-anniversary reflections.
Six months after the Klingon crash landing in Broken Bow,
Oklahoma, tensions run high between the Vulcans and Starfleet after
Andorian commandos destroy the monastery at P’Jem. The rift leads
to potentially earth-shattering changes when the Vulcans suspend
joint fleet operations and recall T’Pol. But an excursion to the
planet Coridan offers an opportunity—albeit an unpleasant one—to
bridge the chasm.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew
Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you
through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In
this installment, we explore “Shadows of P’Jem” and how tensions
with the Vulcans and burgeoning relations with the Andorians help
build the trinity that will lead to the Federation. We also discuss
the return of Shran and his importance to the series, and ask
whether or not Archer was the right choice of captain for the first
warp-five ship.
